The 55-year-old received £24m after she divorced the Beatle
The former model's life was explored in a Channel 5 documentary, The Trials of Heather Mills, which arrived on our screens earlier this month. The 90-minute programme explored Heather's tough childhood and her marriage with The Beatles legend.
The pair then thrashed it out in court as Heather demanded £125m of the Beatles legend's money. Heather accused Sir Paul of regularly being drunk and smoking cannabis, and also alleged that he had been physically abusive. In response, she poured a glass of water over the head of Sir Paul McCartney's lawyer Fiona Shackleton. Following the divorce, the 80-year-old musician described his marriage to Heather as one of the biggest mistakes of his life.
Heather - who vowed to never walk down the aisle again following her split with Sir Paul - reportedly remarried in 2021. She was said to have tied the knot with businessman boyfriend Mike Dickman, then 36, in a private ceremony. The ex-model started a new venture following her split from Paul in 2008 and branched into vegan food, opening two factories - including taking on the premises of Walkers. At the time, she said: "Everyone was laughing at [veganism] 25 years ago, saying we were nuts. It's brilliant everyone has caught on to the plant-based movement."
After divorcing Paul in 2008, Heather was awarded a £24.3m settlement, plus payments of £35,000 per annum for a nanny and school costs for their child. In 2009, Heather bought VBites, a vegan food company, and later said she invested £23m into the firm after the Government refused her a loan.
